There are orthodontic devices called "reminders" which will physically prevent you from sucking your thumb while you are working on the emotional/psychological reasons behind the behaviour.
-
In addition to the other answers, there are creams/gels that you put on a thumb that make it taste RANK and help quit a thumb-sucking habit. These are mostly designed for children, but I see no reason why they couldn't be used for an adult.

You go to www.thumbsuckingadults.com and find out that lots of adults suck their thumbs and that, unless you're suffering health affects, it's a very useful, gentle habit.

Tell them they'll end up with buck teeth. If they don't stop they'll be able to eat corn through a pickett fence.

Show them this picture
-
how old is the adult? if the person is 21 or older and doesnt have buck teeth..i wouldnt worry about it.
-
smack them in the back of the head and tell them to grow up
-
Amputation should work.
-
I have never herd of that before but it sounds like something private.
-
make them put that thumb in their a**hole
-
Ther is nothing wrong with adult thumb sucking. And you can't MAKE people do things. Worry about your own life, you tyrant.
-
You start sucking your own thumb and eventually realize that it's a cheaper, convenient, legal, effective, useful, better way to relax than anything else. Give it 2 hours a day for 2 to 3 months and then you'll both understand and be a thumb sucker yourself.

I need help... For years Ive been trying to stop its a bad habit but with so many stressful things going on in my life all the time my thumb always finds its way back to my mouth. I have yet to find an alternative or any way to stop cold turkey.

What you do is you pull their thumb nail out.
-
dip the thumb in vinegar.
-
Alot of people think using vinegar is a good way to break the habit but I introduced my son's thumb to tabasco sauce whenever he got the urge. After 4 days he couldn't take it anymore.

I just found out my boyfriend sucks his thumb, ive tried to be nice about it, but honestly i found it creepy, its such a turn off i cant tell him how i feel about it as he was open anough to tell me about it, i really wish he didn't because now he feels its ok to do it around me. I know i should be more accepting as i love my boyfriend but its so un-manly and un acctractive it really puts me off him when i see him do it....but he doesn;t want stp he likes it... erugh

Here's a great solution for girls and women. I accidentally cured my embarassing thumb-sucking habit at age 29. I only sucked my thumb at night when I was asleep and unable to stop myself. Just before I got married, I went to a salon and got long acrylic nails. To my surprise and delight, the thumb nails dug into the roof of my mouth and would wake me up. It was just too uncomfortable to continue sucking, and the nails could not be easily removed, so within a month or two my habit was gone for good. That was over 10 years ago. I've never gotten the nails again and my thumb sucking has never returned. Good luck!

stick your thumbs in your butthole and dont wash yr hands! hahaha j/k my sister used to suck her thumbs and we put this really nasty tasting polish on her fingers. it was suggested by the doctor. it worked! i forgot what it was called, but it was clear.
-
I'm thinking dandelions would do the trick... Its a really nasty taste of your fingers if u get some of that on you. Also if u find some other pacifying action to do instead of the thumb sucking, such as a chewing gum or a bonbon... It shouldn't take more than 3 weeks.

i got a gf and used her boob
